This is nothing short of great, but I think it leaves out a very important element.

One cannot fully understand the intentions, thoughts and meanings of the Constitution and the Amendments without reading their other writings on the same subjects.

I believe these, even more than the logical, lucent thoughts of this great journalist, tell us what the founders real intentions were.

They must be added to the above, and are even more important than an analysis of the words and structure.

It is by omitting the other writings and words of our founders and using the Constitution’s words alone that the Marxists succeed in re-interpreting our Constitution for their own warped goals.

Scalia agrees.

And by doing that you find out they wanted us so well armed that we could over throw our government if it stopped abiding by the Constitution. That we would take up our privately held arms and kill them.

Not only their writings, but their action or inaction. After the Revolution, did the Founders confiscate or pass laws restricting firearms? Had they not believed individuals had the right to guns, they would have restricted the ownership? Especially after the Whiskey Rebellion.
